Chapter 25

Logan POV

I've been to Emma's house more times than I can count on both hands. But today walking up to it, I felt like a total stranger. The thought of Emma having something to do with what happened on the show made me feel like I didn't know her. It made me feel like our whole friendship was a lie.

I only had to knock one time before the door opened revealing Emma's younger brother. "Oh it's just you. Emma, that boy you like is here!" Really, him too? Why do people keep saying that? Emma does not like me!

About ten seconds later Emma walked to the door. "Connor, who are you- Logan!" She noticed me standing at the door and her eyes immediately lit up. That hasn't changed.

She stood there with a smile on her face staring at me for a long awkward moment. "I'm gonna go now…" I guess it was awkward for Connor too because he snuck away. "Do you want to come in?" She offered. Usually, I wouldn't hesitate to say yes but I came here for a reason and it was not to go inside and have fun with her.

"I would prefer if we talked out here." I requested. She looked confused as to why but she didn't question it. We made our way to the end of her porch where she had an outside table. She took a seat on one side and I took a seat on the other, facing her.

"So what brings you here?" She asked. She was still very jolly and the smile on her face was unfazed.

"You called me saying you wanted to hang out remember?" She couldn't have already forgotten. This literally happened less than two hours ago.

She still had a bright smile on her face. "Oh yeah, I totally forgot. But now that you're here what do you want to do?" I could already see great ideas of things we could do racing through her head. But I didn't come here for that. "Actually I just wanted to talk." Again she looked confused but it didn't last long. "You really are different from other guys. They never want to just sit down and talk." I actually smiled when she said that. It's always nice to hear that you're a good guy.

"What do think of Rocky?" I asked cautiously. The smile on her face finally came off. Weird, it only took the name of my girlfriend to get her to stop smiling? That's not good.

"You want to talk about Rocky?" She said it like Rocky was the worst topic of conversation in the world. She's my favorite topic.

"Yeah…why?" I asked. The only reason I even came here was for Rocky. Why wouldn't I talk about her?

"I like Rocky, really, but you spend all of your time with her and I thought since we were hanging out we could talk about something else other than her." So that's how she feels?

"No you don't." the look of confusion returned to her face. "No I don't what?" She questioned. "You don't like Rocky." It's very easy to tell when Emma's lying, her nostrils flare slightly and her voice goes up about 2 octaves. I always knew when she was lying.

She didn't say anything. I stared at her until she couldn't take it anymore. Finally, she broke. "Fine! I don't like Rocky! Everyone thinks she's so perfect and everyone loves her but it's not fair! She gets everything she wants! But I thought it was different with you. I knew she liked you but you were always with me so I thought she would get the hint but somehow she managed to get you caught under her spell and now you're her boyfriend! You were supposed to be with me Logan! I love you!" As soon as those words left her lips she covered her mouth realizing what she just said. I don't know who was more surprised, me or her. Everyone's been telling me that Emma likes me but they were wrong. She freaking loves me! When did this happen and how was I not even aware of it? Am I really that blind?

"You what?" Not that I didn't hear her the first time, because trust me I did, but I was hoping that she would deny ever saying it. It's kind of hard to believe that Emma loves me. As a friend I would get it, but something tells me she didn't mean it in that way.

After a few moments Emma recovered. She was giving me this l kind of desperate look. It was scary. "I could say that was all an accident like I did with the kiss but I can't." Wait, the kiss wasn't an accident? "That first day in chemistry class when I picked you to be my lab partner, it wasn't an accident. I had a crush on you. The more we hung out the more my crush grew. By the time it was your birthday I was already in love with you. I thought you felt the same way that's why I was confused when you told me you didn't. But now I know it's all because of Rocky." She said Rocky's name with nothing but distaste. Everything was still soaking in by the time she finished. Emma can't like me, she can't. We're best friends and we're supposed to stay that way. But her liking me does answer the question I came here for.

"So that's why you did it. You said those bad things about Rocky on the show because you were mad that I chose her over you." It was all making sense now. But as the puzzle pieces started to fit together I became angrier. I can't believe Emma would do something like that out of jealously.

She looked caught. I could almost hear her thinking, 'How did he know?' I stood up from my seat getting ready to go. This was all getting to be too much for me. "You were my best friend and I thought you would be for a long time. I really did think that kiss was an accident but it obviously wasn't. I'm sorry if you thought that I wanted to be more than friends but I don't. But calling someone a slut, and probably other things I didn't hear before shutting the TV off, on a TV show shown worldwide is not someone I want to be friends with! Rocky was nothing but nice to you and now you got her thinking everything is her fault and the world hates her." Every time I heard my voice rise I had to remind myself to bring it back down. Even though I'm upset yelling never helps anything.

To my surprise, Emma rose from her seat. She even looked aggravated. "It is her fault! If it weren't for her we could've been toge-" "Stop! Just stop!" I was getting loud again so I took a deep breath and calmed myself down before speaking again. "We were never gonna be together. I'm in love with Rocky." That was the truth and sometimes the truth hurts. I can't imagine being with anyone else and if Emma doesn't like it then she was never a true friend.

"Well I guess that's gonna be a problem between us." She said. I didn't say anything, I just stared. I stared at my once best friend in disbelief. Never in my mind did I think Emma could be so cruel and selfish. She was not the same girl that I thought I knew.

"See you around Emma." I turned around leaving. If she was calling me I didn't hear because I jammed her voice out of my thoughts. I walked out of her driveway and continued home. I came here to find out the truth for Rocky's sake but I found much more. I wish I could take back those ten minutes of my life but I can't. Emma is a mean girl who is no longer my best friends.


Ty POV

Today is the day Tinka will find out that I'm back. I made the others promise not to say anything. If Tinka was gonna know that I was here, I wanted it to come from me. Even if we aren't on the best terms right now I know she'll talk to me. She will talk to me right?

Rocky left with CeCe, Logan, and Gunther. I stayed back because I wanted to look extra good for Tinka. Just because she broke up with me doesn't mean I stopped loving her. I would tell her what happened but Tinka hates excuses and if I tell her the truth she'll think it is one. That would make her hate me even more so I'm gonna keep what happened to myself.

I pulled up into the parking lot excited to see Tinka. Out of everyone, I missed her the most when I was gone. She was the one that I thought about before I went to sleep and after I woke up. She was literally running through my mind all day.

I closed the door of the car and made my way inside the school. I was instantly greeted by everyone. Even the cameramen came to tape my welcome back. They better not air that because Rocky told me they weren't allowed to tape us anymore. People threw questions at me from left to right. Since when did this school have paparazzi? I had to shoo everyone away, the only person I wanted to talk to was Tinka. After they all finally scattered away, one person remained. She had a pout on her lips and her arms were on her hips. She had attitude written all over her face. I only know one girl at this school like that.

She walked up to me and I could tell she was angry. "Now you want to come back?" I rolled my eyes. Shana is the last person I wanted to see today. She's the cause of my failed love life but I guess that's not enough because she's back. "What do you want Shana? I don't have time for this." She jerked her head back and furrowed her eyebrows. "You don't have time for this? You're gonna have to make time. Your sister came up to me yesterday and asked why I said bad things about her on the show. I never said anything about her so I need you to stop spreading rumors about me and quit trying to make me look like a bad person." Yesterday I talked to Rocky and she told me about her confrontation with Shana. I was actually surprised that she didn't do it.

"It was a mistake and I am sorry. But you were the one who said if I didn't break up with Tinka you would tell everyone." Could anyone blame me? She was on the top of my suspect list. "I don't want you anymore Ty. I found someone better and more caring. He brings me…" I drowned her out as soon as I saw Tinka picking book out of her locker. "Yeah good for you, I'll see you later."

I snuck up behind Tinka and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and as soon as she saw me, all her books fell out of her hands. I couldn't help but smile at how shocked she was to see me. I picked up her books and handed them to her. "Hey." I managed to say. I mentally face palmed myself. Hey? That was real smooth Ty.

I don't think she caught my dumb slip up though. She continued to stare at me in amazement. "Ty, you're back. I did not expect this." She said. I had to hold back the urge of wanting to hug her. I wanted her to be mine again. "Of course I'm back. I missed…everyone." I mostly missed her and I wanted to say that but I didn't want to sound too desperate.

She closed her locker and stood there not saying anything. I could tell that she was uncomfortable. "So how have you been?" It was a stupid question but I needed to say something to dissipate the silence. "I'm good. I've had a lot of free time on my hands after you left. Shake it up Chicago had to stop showing new episodes because they didn't have a host but your back." She didn't have much enthusiasm in her voice when she said I was back. Did she not want me here? Was it too painful for her to talk to me?

"Look Tinka I'm sorry that I left but I needed time to think. I have to leave for college soon so I had to take those college tours. I didn't want to think about all of that but I had to. Leaving you will be the hardest thing for me. But I still have a couple of months left and I want to spend that time with-" "Can you please not finish that? I'm glad your back but that doesn't mean I want to get back together with you. You cheated on me Ty. That's something I can never get over." Her words broke my heart. Not only does she not want me back but she thinks I'm a cheater too.

"I didn't cheat on you. Shana was-" "It doesn't matter anymore. I can't be with you." I didn't get another chance to explain myself. She turned around walked off into the crowd of students leaving me to stare. This is actually happening. Tinka doesn't want me anymore. My other half is gone.


1 month later

Logan POV

It's been really hectic around here lately. The weddings less than a week away and Georgia's in bridezilla mode. Anytime she hears something didn't go as planned, she jogs. My dad's sweating because he's nervous about being married for a second time. CeCe's still trying to write her speech for the wedding. Flynn is getting frustrated because Georgia is making him look over every detail to make sure she didn't miss anything.

I on the other hand don't have to do anything for the wedding. The only thing I was in charge of was writing my own speech and I finished that a while back ago. So I've had a lot of free time on my hands and I've been spending that time with Rocky. We celebrated our one-month-iversary a few days ago. I took her to one of her favorite plays which took FOREVER to finish. Then I took her back to our apartment building where I had a candlelight dinner set up on the roof. I even went to CeCe to ask her what I should get Rocky as a present. All she said was diamonds are a girl's best friend. So I took my money I saved up from Bob's Kabobs and bought her a diamond necklace. Let's just say that it wasn't cheap but it was for Rocky and she's worth it.

Right now the apartment is at ease. Flynn went to sleep an hour ago after running around here on a high sugar rush. CeCe went to Gunther's house to get help for the speech after Rocky said she had to study. Georgia is running everywhere around the city making sure everything goes according to plan. My dad is probably somewhere sweating like a maniac. So that leaves me and Rocky. We were in my room studying. I don't know why she insists on studying when we already took Mrs. Brown semester exam. I got a B and Rocky got her usual A.

Rocky thinks we should study because it keeps our minds fresh on a certain topic. I hate studying so when she wants us to have these study dates I'm forced to come.

"I found the Aztec oceanic bluebird blue dress your mom wanted for the bridesmaid dresses." She said whilst writing something down. She was sitting down crossed legged on my bed. Georgia is superstitious. She thinks that if she gets the right colored bridesmaid dresses for the wedding her marriage will work out. Last time she didn't and that ended in a divorce.

"I can't wait to see you in it." I said kissing her cheek. She smiled and blushed. I think it's funny that even after a month of being with her I still manage to make her blush when I give her compliments.

I wasn't really doing much studying. I was sitting on a rolling desk chair rolling around the room. "I don't get the big deal about weddings. It's the day guys give up their freedom." Did I say that out loud? Rocky dropped her pencil and I stopped rolling. That was probably the dumbest thing that has ever come out of my mouth.

"What did you just say?" She asked in a threatening voice. I knew that girls are really sensitive when it comes to this topic but I just made the stupid mistake of calling the day they always dream of a prison for guys. I got up from the chair and jumped on the bed next to her. "You know I didn't mean that." I tried to explain. She was glaring at me. I messed up big time. "All I was trying to say was that most guys think of it as the day they lose all freedom." That wasn't any better! I just repeated myself! "So your one of those guys who think that?" She asked. This is one default of having a smart girlfriend; she catches every dumb thing you say.

"N-no, I didn't mean it like that either. I-I love weddings. I d-don't-" She started laughing. "Logan it's okay. You don't have to be so nervous. You're allowed to have your own opinion. I wasn't really mad at you. Sure it would be nice if you loved weddings but you don't have to." She could've told me this 2 minutes ago before I thought she would do something tragic like break up with me.

"Well now I'm mad at you for letting me embarrass myself." I know it was a stupid reason but I wanted her to feel how I felt just a few seconds ago. She moved to sit in front of me and stopped. I turned my head and faced the other direction. I know I was being really childish but I like messing with her. "Come on your not really mad." She said. I didn't respond. She tried to make me look at her but I looked the other way. "I guess I'll just have to make it up to you." I actually looked at her this time only to be met by her lips. Of course I kissed her back. I don't hold grudges.

She let me lead the kiss and I did it a bit roughly. We didn't waste time getting to the good stuff. She let herself sink into the bed while I hovered over her. She pulled me back into a fast rough kiss. Our breathing got heavier and I could feel her heart beat pick up against my chest. Even though Rocky said she didn't care if I like weddings or not, I felt the need to tell her the truth. I pulled away from the kiss and looked her straight in the eye. "If I do get married I want it to be to you. I promise if that happens I won't feel like I'm being locked up." She smiled at me and pulled me back down on top of her. Everything increased after that, the speed of the kiss, the heat, the hormones, and the roughness of it all. Where is this leading to?

Okay so some people have asked me to make Rocky and Logan do "It". I didn't want to write it based on a few people so I want everyone's opinion. If you want them to do it tell me in a review. If you don't want them to do it tell me. I won't let it happen if it's just a few people because after all this is a T rated story. But if there's enough I'll write it, same for people against it. So REVIEW and tell me what you want.
